    The doors she thought were closed forever are starting to open up . . . just a crack 
     
    Though the century began with such promise, it is 1910 when Mira Dean's hopes of being a wife and mother are dashed to pieces. Her fiancé dead from tuberculosis, Mira resigns herself to being a spinster schoolteacher--until Gordon Covington shows up. 
      
    No longer the boy she knew from school, Gordon is now a preacher who is full of surprises. First, he asks Mira to come to Sourwood in Eastern Kentucky to teach at his mission school. Second, he asks her to marry him. Just like that. 
      
    With much trepidation, Mira steps out in faith into a life she never imagined, in a place filled with its own special challenges, to serve a people who just might end up becoming the family she always yearned for.

    Cassidy London joins the Leave Me Breathless World with a swoon-worthy, grunge-meets-pop rock-star romance.... 
    Jax 
    Mesmerized by her beauty, I watched as she swayed to the music. Incomparable and exotic, her call to every cell in my body was louder than the 120 decibels of our last concert. 
    Winning her should have been easy. But Aria Winters was unfazed by stardom and looked at me with disdain. She was the only girl I’d ever met who didn’t like rock stars. 
    Challenge accepted. 
    Aria 
    With his chiseled jawline, piercing black eyes, and international fame, Jax Andersson had a voice that made women everywhere swoon. Except for me. I couldn’t have cared less about the alternative rock world. It wasn’t my jam—and neither were junkie rock stars with massive egos. I was only there to do my job and move on with my life. 
    But when Jax offered me the one thing I was desperate for, I couldn’t refuse. 
    I should have stood my ground. He should have kept his distance. Because now, I was going to have to beat him at his own game. 
    "Fans of AL Jackson and Kristen Ashley will devour this! I love a good rockstar romance and Cassidy London didn't disappoint. She brought me back in time to those moments when I'd experienced all the feels!" (Not Your Moms Romance Blog)

    From being a resident physician during the COVID-19 pandemic to living passionately in travel, romance, and heartache, Rodolfo Villarreal-Calderon is a literary chef to an audience who did not realize their hunger—until served his Word Meal. It is a two-part course: first, 99 poems, and second, an 82-page short story (novella). 
    The poetry is organized around the three abstractions that connect us all—Love, Time, and Death. Love of lovers, of dogs, and of self; the Death of body, our past, and who we once were; the Time within which this all transpires—the Time of your life. You are invited to explore each abstraction and their combinations. Buffet style. 
    In the drama that is a healthcare encounter, the patient is—and always will be—the protagonist. Get Well Soon! is a novella revolving around a patient admitted to the hospital. The patient narrator reflects on the experiences of being well and ill, as well as the subtle and comical workings of an academic hospital team and hospital stay.

    Mage Jannick Pederson thought it was a simple assignment: help the gryphon leader find some missing human children and then go home. A noble cause, even if he didn't much like the abrasive jerk. So why didn't someone tell him he'd be working closely with the leader's son instead? That hot piece of perfection could make even happily-single Jannick give up his no-strings-attached ways. 
     
     
     
    Gryphon shifter Conall Arwan has simple goals for his life: get his PhD in pediatric shifter social work and stay off the radar of his disapproving father. When his father orders him to work with a hot but arrogant mage to find missing human kids, all Conall sees is how it pushes back his graduation date. Again. And even if the mage unexpectedly turns out to be not so bad—and maybe even a little sweet—there's still no future for them. Conall's dad has plans for him and they don't include getting involved with a sexy, infuriating mage. 
     
     
     
    But fate has other ideas. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    "Do nothing which is of no use."
    
    Miyamoto Musashi was Japan's greatest swordsman, a "Sword Saint" who fought over sixty duels and never lost. In The Book of Five Rings, he reveals the secret of his success: the "Way of Strategy." Divided into five books—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void—this text transcends physical swordplay. Musashi teaches that victory comes from an unshakeable mind, perfect timing, and the ability to adapt to any circumstance. Whether you are a martial artist, a business leader, or a student of life, Musashi's ruthless efficiency and profound Zen-like clarity offer a blueprint for mastery over oneself and one's enemies.
    
    The Way of the Two Heavens: Musashi explains his unique Niten Ichi-ryū style—the art of fighting with two swords simultaneously. He uses this as a metaphor for being prepared at all times and using every resource available to its maximum potential.
    
    The Psychology of Conflict: Musashi delves deep into the mental game of battle. He discusses "crushing" an opponent's spirit, the importance of "the gaze" (how to look at an enemy without focusing on their sword), and the necessity of maintaining a "mountain-and-sea" mind—vast and ever-changing.
    
    Why It Is a Global Bestseller: Beyond its historical value, The Book of Five Rings is studied in boardrooms around the world. Its lessons on decisive action, the danger of hesitation, and the relentless pursuit of one's goal make it a timeless manual for anyone seeking a competitive edge.
